Carty on WTKA: A little Lions talk, a little EMU football, and a little UM basketball

Sunday's news that Lions' owner William Clay Ford would retain execs Martin Mayhew and Tom Lewand had Sam Webb so despondent that he opened our usual Monday chat on WTKA desperately seeking some sort of proper response as a Lions fan. And, no, we didn't come to any consensus, but it sure seems like at this point Mr. Ford is ... well ... so far out there as to defy understanding. Thankfully, the news out of Eastern Michigan and Michigan was a little more enjoyable, with the Eagles adding Ron English as their new football coach and John Beilein's men's basketball team rolling past Oakland for yet another win.

Former Ann Arbor News sports columnist and current full-time law student Jim Carty blogs about Michigan football and more in his personal blog. His weekly radio commentaries will continue to run Monday's on MLive.com.
